“Forget it, I won’t think about it!”

Since there was no way out, Shen Fei simply laid down on the bed and closed his eyes.

“It’s useless to think so much. The money I lack won’t appear like magic. It’s better to have a good rest. When I’m full of energy tomorrow, I’ll go to the streets and see if there’s something I can try. If things really don’t work out, I’ll look into borrowing some money.”

Shen Fei closed his eyes and slept all the way until dawn. During his sleep, he heard someone knocking on the door.

Knock, knock, knock!

‘Who could that be?’ Shen Fei turned over impatiently. ‘What are they doing instead of sleeping?’

“Mr. Shen Fei, Mr. Shen Fei.”

However, even when Shen Fei turned over and covered his ears, the person at the door was still calling his name.

“It’s so noisy...”

Shen Fei staggered up from the bed and opened the door with blurry eyes.

“Who is it?”

However, the moment he opened the door, Shen Fei immediately woke up. He stared at the scene at the door with a dumbfounded expression.

Outside the door, thousands of people were divided into two rows and lined up from his house to half a street away.

He did not know when it started, but the road was covered with a festive red carpet.

There were also a few children with flower baskets. They were smiling as they scattered flower petals into the sky.

On the side of the red carpet, there were even groups and various bands stationed to set the atmosphere.

As soon as they saw Shen Fei come out, they started to play a happy and romantic song.

For a moment, Shen Fei was a little stupefied.

‘Did I open the wrong door? What’s going on outside?’

“What are you staring at?” ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦

Aloy’s voice came from a black car not far away. The door of the black car opened, and Aloy, who wore a white dress, slowly walked out of the car and walked toward Shen Fei.

If he was not mistaken, everything must have been arranged by Aloy. But even so, Shen Fei was still confused.

‘Why is she doing all this?’

“Shen Fei, I, Aloy Gelin, have come with sincerity this time.”

At this point, Aloy reached out and patted the car door. Immediately, a dozen muscular men appeared, each pair carrying a crate between them, and they set crate after crate down behind Aloy.

Shen Fei curiously examined the six boxes behind her. ‘What’s in the boxes? They seemed so heavy that it took two strong men to lift one.’

“Open them and let him see the sincerity of our Gelin family!” 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m

At Aloy’s order, the brawny men beside her immediately pried open the lid of the crates. Instantly, several golden lights shot out from them.

Shen Fei took a look and saw that the opened chests was filled with gold, silver and jewels!

Moreover, even the two crates in the front were full of money of the largest denomination! Shen Fei quickly stopped his jaw from falling. There was at least two million in that crate just from the two stacks of bills on top!

This amount of money was enough to buy the best cultivation manual out there! Moreover, he could also increase the level of his spirit beast skills.

How good would it be if all this money was his...

Aloy silently pursed her lips and looked at Shen Fei with some disappointment.

Why did it feel like Shen Fei’s attention was not on her at all even when she was dressed up today? Instead, he was looking behind her... Could it be that she was not as attractive as the chests filled with riches behind her?

At the thought of this, Aloy suddenly felt a little depressed. However, in her previous life, her relationship with Shen Fei had not been that good either. Basically, ever since the two of them were engaged, they had only spoken a few times in the past decade. Furthermore, before this, Shen Fei even wanted to take the initiative to break off the engagement.

Now that she had suddenly appeared to propose marriage, was she not being too rash? Aloy waved the fan in her hand to hide the distress on her face... She had to be reckless. She had to control the future within the most acceptable range!

‘This time, I must secure Shen Fei in one fell swoop!’

“This money is all for you.” Aloy pretended to not care as she fanned herself, quietly observing Shen Fei’s performance.

Upon hearing this, Shen Fei’s face did not betray any joy. In fact, he even became vigilant.

“What’s the meaning of this?” Shen Fei was immediately suspicious.

‘Why is she giving me so much money for no reason? There’s no such thing as a free lunch.’

For Aloy to bring so much money to him, there must be some secret plot at hand.

But as for what she wanted, Shen Fei did not know.

“It’s very simple.” Aloy folded her fan and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. “I’ve brought this money today to propose marriage. We were engaged when we were children, and it’s time to fulfill our promise. These six chests of money are the Gelin family’s promise to you!

“As long as you confirm the wedding date, not only are these six crates of money yours, but in the future, a part of the Gelin family’s property will also be given to you.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Fei’s heart was filled with delight! He had been so worried about money yesterday, yet the money came to him instead!

Shen Fei was dumbstruck as he carefully thought about Aloy’s words.

‘Why does it feel like I’m the one being married off? If that’s so, wouldn’t I become a live-in son-in-law of the Gelin family? But...’

Shen Fei stared at the six crates of money with reluctance. He needed money for his cultivation and his spirit beasts’ skills. He also needed money for his daily expenses!

‘Is there a faster way to earn money than agreeing to this proposal? This money is all real gold and silver! I can’t just give up money for something as illusory as reputation, right?’

“Let me think about it.”

Shen Fei forcefully suppressed the joy in his heart, but on the surface, he acted like a gentleman. He still had to put on a show.

Aloy waved her fan anxiously. As she watched Shen Fei’s pondering appearance, her heart became more and more uneasy. Shen Fei seemed to have always been a person who valued his dignity.

‘I have ignored him in front of others several times for so long, it can’t be that Shen Fei would hate me for this, right?’ Aloy gritted her teeth remorsefully. ‘If it really doesn’t work out, I’ve saved up a few million yuan in secret... If it comes down to it, I’ll give it all to him here to sweeten the deal.’

She was willing to do anything as long as she could firmly hold her future in her hands!

Looking at the wealth in front of him, Shen Fei weighed the pros and cons in his heart.

“I accept!”

Hearing this straightforward answer, Aloy was a little surprised. At the same time, she let out a sigh of relief. For someone she assumed had always valued his reputation, she did not expect him to be so easy to persuade.

Aloy smiled, and her face immediately blushed. She did not know why, but she actually had some expectations for their future marriage.

“Since you’ve agreed, we shall marry on my birthday in a year’s time, when I am of age.”
